齐宣王 / King Xuan of Qi

Hanji 919 adds Qi Xuan Wang as the negative side of a Mencian garden comparison. His smaller park becomes politically oppressive because ordinary people are excluded and punished for entering, making him a warning case for the shared pleasure governance test and for classic citation legitimation capture when later courtiers cite the passage without the public-access condition.

齐宣王 / King Xuan of Qi is the ruler on whom 30.孟子：战国愤青的赤子之心 says 孟子 / Mencius placed unusually strong political hope. The episode presents him as vivid and contradictory: ambitious enough to ask about hegemonic models, candid enough to admit personal weaknesses, capable of compassion in the “以羊易牛” story, yet ultimately unable to embody Mencius’s political program.

The source uses Qi Xuan Wang to develop 王道 versus 霸道, Mencian Benevolent Government / 孟子仁政, and Mencian People-Based Legitimacy / 孟子的民本合法性. His failed Yan campaign is also the episode’s central case for Mencian Idealism Limits / 孟子理想主义的限度: Mencius’s belief that a righteous ruler could improve conquered people’s lives runs into army discipline, interstate pressure, and the lack of reliable institutional guarantees.

《资治通鉴·周纪》29丨苏秦励志爽文：知识改变命运 adds him as a chronology-correction node rather than as a developed ruler. The episode says 《资治通鉴》 places 齐威王’s death and Qi Xuan Wang’s accession in 333 BCE, but the host argues this is wrong and that Qi Xuan Wang’s first year should be 319 BCE. The source also mentions the chronicle’s claim that he recalls 田忌, while keeping the larger notice under 齐威王编年争议.

《资治通鉴·周纪》37丨苏秦：六国集团CEO的不堪情史 adds another source-scoped Qi Xuan Wang notice but also intensifies the chronology problem. In the episode’s 324 BCE frame, Qi Xuan Wang appoints 苏秦 as guest minister after Su Qin’s staged flight from 燕国. Su Qin then advises palace and garden expansion as 奢侈诱导式削弱. Because the wiki already records the host’s 319 BCE correction, this should remain a 编年错位 example rather than a clean biographical date.

《资治通鉴·周纪》45｜以史为鉴，君王到底该不该杀人成性？ places the practical succession endpoint in 320 BCE: 齐威王 dies and Tian Bijiang succeeds as Qi Xuan Wang. The source is best read with the existing correction that his first regnal year belongs around 319 BCE, so it reduces the 333 BCE problem rather than creating a new contradiction.

《资治通鉴·周纪》48丨君王为啥不能传位宰相 supplies the pre-Mencius Yan intervention. Qi Xuan Wang tells 市被 and the Yan crown prince that restoring ruler-minister and father-son order is justified, then sends 张子 into 燕国 after their attack on 子之 fails. The episode makes his moral language politically double-edged: Qi can present itself as correcting broken 礼制政治秩序, but its killing of 燕王哙 and Zi Zhi leaves the later occupation needing the people-based test developed in Zhouji 49.

《资治通鉴·周纪》49丨孟子曰：我教你治国 你却把我当花瓶 develops the Yan-campaign failure directly. Qi Xuan Wang treats the quick conquest of 燕国 as possible heavenly endorsement, but 孟子 / Mencius says the test is whether Yan’s people are saved from suffering. The episode makes Qi Xuan Wang a negative case for 犯错能改的领导力: after Yan rebels, he is ashamed that he ignored Mencius, but the source emphasizes that shame without corrective action is not enough.

The same episode adds two source-scoped closing notes. It says the chronicle’s notice of Qi Xuan Wang’s death and 田地 / 齐湣王’s succession is chronologically wrong by about twelve years, and it briefly places 钟离春 / 钟无艳 and 稷下学宫 in Qi Xuan Wang’s wider cultural evaluation.

《资治通鉴·周纪》61丨谁是历史上胆儿最肥的帝王？ supplies the corrected endpoint flagged there. In its 301 BCE frame, Qi Xuan Wang dies and Tian Di succeeds as 齐湣王. The episode explicitly says the earlier Zhouji 49 death notice should belong more than ten years later, making this page’s death branch a clear case of 编年错位 being clarified by a later source.

《资治通鉴·周纪》50丨张仪是怎样把楚怀王忽悠瘸的 keeps Qi Xuan Wang alive and politically active in 313 BCE, reinforcing the prior chronology correction. After 张仪 delays Qin’s promised transfer to 楚国, 楚怀王 sends Song Yi to insult Qi Xuan Wang in order to prove the Qi-Chu break is complete. Qi Xuan Wang’s anger then pushes 齐国 toward 秦国, making him the offended ally whose reaction completes the trap.

《资治通鉴·周纪》54丨我尊你是王，你当我是屁 continues the same corrected chronology in 311 BCE. Zhang Yi comes east to persuade Qi Xuan Wang after receiving reward from 秦惠文王, and argues that the confidence behind 合纵 is obsolete because Qin-Chu ties, Han submission, Wei concessions, and Zhao’s Qin-facing move have left Qi exposed. Qi Xuan Wang accepts the proposal, making him a case where 包围威胁式说服 builds on the prior Qi-Chu rupture.

《资治通鉴·周纪》55丨 张仪痛失贵人秦惠王 gives Qi Xuan Wang the withdrawal decision in Zhang Yi’s final maneuver. Qi attacks 魏国 after Zhang Yi arrives there, but Zhang Yi has the plan disclosed through a Chu diplomatic channel: the attack is exactly what Zhang Yi and 秦武王 wanted. Qi Xuan Wang withdraws once continuing would validate the trap.
